entering kinda late, anyways... heres a semi-clean plate... tried to get rid of the artificial lighting as much as possible. It was actually pretty fun to try and see how clean I could get this thing, definitely a challenge.

sketch for the final matte. Still deciding the final res. But comp, color and light are set up decent enough for now.

kinda going for a piranesi vibe here.

any critiques are welcome. I'm always looking for other ideas to improve a shot...

Lookign good mate. I love forest setting. I can't wait to see the final.

One word of advise. I feel that the door like arches on the left are feeling a bit dull. Make sure to spice em up a bit more :D

*note: i know you're not finished, just thought i would say something more than "nice job"*
